TRAIL DES CÔMES
LE DÉFI 300 des Cômes
^- ^par FMLGD
Le Trail des Cômes n'est pas un défi comme les autres. Ici, le dénivelé devient le véritable défi.
Que vous soyez trailer aguerri, randonneur sportif ou simplement à la recherche d'un défi hors du commun, choisissez l'expérience qui vous ressemble : une ascension, plusieurs sommets, un parcours en forêt au cœur du Sentier National, ou, pour les plus ambitieux, une combinaison des deux.
Contrairement aux événements traditionnels où le dénivelé n'est qu'une conséquence du parcours, ici, la montée est l'événement. Chaque sommet devient une victoire, chaque ascension une nouvelle occasion de se dépasser.
Plusieurs défis sont proposés, du Défi Vertical 300 jusqu'au Défi Vertical 1500+, sans oublier le Défi Forêt 1000 et le Défi Ultime, qui combine les deux univers. Et parce que certains sommets se gravissent encore mieux ensemble, le Défi Vertical 1500+ peut également être relevé en équipe de 2 à 5 personnes.
Peu importe votre objectif, une chose est certaine : vous repartirez avec beaucoup plus qu'un simple nombre de kilomètres.
Une montagne. Une forêt. Une multitude de façons de se dépasser.
Bienvenue au Trail des Cômes.
À QUOI VOUS ATTENDRE
Ici, on ne bouge pas seulement pour performer, on bouge en nature pour durer.
Il ne s’agit pas de performance compétitive, mais d’un moment collectif pour se dépasser, pour se reconnecter à soi, à l’environnement, et à ce qui compte vraiment.
C’est aussi l’occasion parfaite de vivre une fin de semaine en plein air. Les participants pourront profiter de tarifs préférentiels sur l’hébergement à l’auberge et les chalets, ainsi que sur le vélo de montagne le lendemain (les codes rabais seront fourmis dans le premier courriel).
En pleine saison des couleurs, la montagne proposera également plusieurs activités qui seront disponibles durant le Festival des couleurs de Val Saint-Côme.
Une belle façon de bouger pour une cause qui compte… tout en vous offrant un moment ressourçant au cœur de Lanaudière.
Inscrivez-vous dès maintenant,
et faites partie du mouvement.
Un événement à visée philanthropique afin de soutenir la santé mentale des acteurs du réseau de la santé, au profit du Programme d’aide aux médecins du Québec (PAMQ). En effet, le PAMQ soutient les médecins qui traversent des difficultés. Soutenir cette cause, c’est contribuer à un système de santé plus humain, plus solide… et plus durable.
Un dernier geste important : pensez à vérifier votre boîte de courriel, y compris vos indésirables, afin de ne rien manquer des prochaines étapes de votre participation.
